This class will be taught by Microsoft store personnel along with Hal Schloss, Scoutmaster of Troop 360.

Limited space is available, so one must sign up in advance.

The presentation and discussion will cover the "discuss/explain" aspects of the merit badge. Scouts are expected to complete the merit badge that day and will need to bring the files required to fulfill requirements 6 and 7, and will have researched requirement 9 ahead of time.

While prerequisite files can be prepared on any computer, only those that are compatible with Microsoft Windows can be displayed using the equipment provided by the store. So if using a Macintosh or other non-Windows computer, please either convert the files to a Windows compatible format prior to the class, or bring a laptop/notebook to the class that can be used to display the files. Files compatible with Windows systems can be brought on a thumb drive for use with the store's computers or displayed on the Scout's laptop/notebook.
